light plays across the creek,

Water bends round crooked limbs,
of some old fallen tree.
 
The sweet hush of the waterfall
sings lullabies to me.

I hear the whisper of your voice,
the wind that moves the leaves.
Something I didn't notice the first time while reading this was the repetition of the E sound. Added rhythm to the poem. At least to me. Maybe work on bringing out this rhythm even more.
Feeding off what others said I guess you could add a little ambiguity to the poem to help lose the cliche stigma. Or delve deeper into the subject matter and give it a reason to be cliche.
